Military Surplus Pistols

[Atlantic Firearms.com]

Collecting Firearms is a fun hobby with many different categories to chose from.
Military Surplus Pistol are one of the most popular surplus items due to their compact size .Typically these start a lower price allowing collectors to start off with a small investment to test the waters. Some cool options to consider are Tokaraev or Makarov pistols .You can also check out possibly getting your C&R FFL license also know as a Curio & Relic FFL. This allows you to obtain firearms that are 50 years and older & have them shipped to your home and skip the FFL transfer fees etc.

You should study California laws a bit more, we are NOT allowed to have any C&R's shipped to us (03 ffl holders) anymore in California. See CA PC 27585 27565.

27585.
(a) Commencing January 1, 2015, a resident of this state shall not import into this state, bring into this state, or transport into this state, any firearm that he or she purchased or otherwise obtained on or after January 1, 2015, from outside of this state unless he or she first has that firearm delivered to a dealer in this state for delivery to that resident pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 27540 and Article 1 (commencing with Section 26700) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 26800) of Chapter 2.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to or affect any of the following:
(1) A licensed collector who is subject to and complies with Section 27565.


27565.
(a) This section applies in the following circumstances:
(1) A person is licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
(2) The licensed premises of that person are within this state.
(3) The licensed collector acquires, outside of this state, a handgun, and commencing January 1, 2014, any firearm.
(4) The licensed collector takes actual possession of that firearm outside of this state pursuant to the provisions of subsection (j) of Section 923 of Title 18 of the United States Code, as amended by Public Law 104-208, and transports the firearm into this state.
(5) The firearm is a curio or relic, as defined in Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
(b) Within five days of transporting a firearm into this state under the circumstances described in subdivision (a), the licensed collector shall report the acquisition of that firearm to the department in a format prescribed by the department.

So I can walk into your store, walk out with a C&R and transport it back to CA but I cannot have you ship it to me in California.

I think Atlantic firearms is a big enough that they're selling in more States than just California so they probably just have a template to post letting new people know about C&R options and opportunities.

Besides that possibility, there are lots of people that visit this large California based gun forum, who don't live in California, who might be able legally to take advantage of their offers.

You know it's the old Free states versus what we're limited to in California issue.

I wonder if c&r pistols are still cheap in those free states or did their prices climb high. Some of the stuff I've seen in the marketplace here is just ridiculous. A Makarov could be a historical and interesting collector/shooter but who's going to pay big money for one.
